Finally, when the term “about” is used in describing a value or an end-point of a range, the disclosure should be understood to include the specific value or end-point referred to.

As used herein, the term “about” means that amounts, sizes, formulations, parameters, and other quantities and characteristics are not and need not be exact, but may be approximate and/or larger or smaller, as desired, reflecting tolerances, conversion factors, rounding off, measurement error and the like, and other factors known to those of skill in the art. In general, an amount, size, formulation, parameter or other quantity or characteristic is “about” or “approximate” whether or not expressly stated to be such.

The term “or”, as used herein, is inclusive; more specifically, the phrase “A or B” means “A, B, or both A and B”. Exclusive “or” is designated herein by terms such as “either A or B” and “one of A or B”, for example.

The indefinite articles “a” and “an” are employed to describe elements and components of embodiments. The use of these articles means that one or at least one of these elements or components is present. Although these articles are conventionally employed to signify that the modified noun is a singular noun, as used herein the articles “a” and “an” also include the plural, unless otherwise stated in specific instances. Similarly, the definite article “the”, as used herein, also signifies that the modified noun may be singular or plural, again unless otherwise stated in specific instances.

For the purposes of describing the embodiments, it is noted that reference herein to a variable being a “function” of a parameter or another variable is not intended to denote that the variable is exclusively a function of the listed parameter or variable.

It is noted that one or more of the claims may utilize the term “wherein” as a transitional phrase. For the purposes of defining embodiments, it is noted that this term is introduced in the claims as an open-ended transitional phrase that is used to introduce a recitation of a series of characteristics of the structure and should be interpreted in like manner as the more commonly used open-ended preamble term “comprising.”

As a result of the raw materials and/or equipment used to produce the glass composition, certain impurities or components that are not intentionally added, can be present in the final glass composition. Such materials are present in the glass composition in minor amounts and are referred to herein as “tramp materials.”

As used herein, a glass composition having 0 wt % or mol % of a compound is defined as meaning that the compound, molecule, or element was not purposefully added to the composition, but the composition may still comprise the compound, typically in tramp or trace amounts. Similarly, “sodium-free,” “alkali-free,” “potassium-free” or the like are defined to mean that the compound, molecule, or element was not purposefully added to the composition, but the composition may still comprise sodium, alkali, or potassium, but in approximately tramp or trace amounts. Unless otherwise specified, the concentrations of all constituents recited herein are expressed in terms of mole percent (mol %).

Vickers indentation cracking threshold measurements described herein are performed by applying and then removing an indentation load to the glass surface at a rate of 0.2 mm/min. The maximum indentation load is held for 10 seconds. The indentation cracking threshold is defined at the indentation load at which 50% of 10 indents exhibit any number of radial/median cracks emanating from the corners of the indent impression. The maximum load is increased until the threshold is met for a given glass composition. All indentation measurements are performed at room temperature in 50% relative humidity.

Ion exchange is widely used to chemically strengthen glass articles for use in in consumer electronics, automotive applications, appliances, architectural components, and other areas where high levels of damage resistance are desirable. In the ion exchange process, a glass article containing a first metal ion (e.g., alkali cations in Li₂O, Na₂O, etc.) is at least partially immersed in or otherwise contacted with an ion exchange bath or medium containing a second metal ion that is either larger or smaller than the first metal ion that is present in the glass. The first metal ions diffuse from the glass surface into the ion exchange bath/medium while the second metal ions from the ion exchange bath/medium replace the first metal ions in the glass to a depth of layer below the surface of the glass. The substitution of larger ions for smaller ions in the glass creates a compressive stress at the glass surface, whereas substitution of smaller ions for larger ions in the glass typically creates a tensile stress at the surface of the glass. In some embodiments, the first metal ion and second metal ion are monovalent alkali metal ions. However, other monovalent metal ions such as Ag⁺, Tl⁺, Cu⁺, and the like may also be used in the ion exchange process. In those instances where at least one of Ag⁺ and Cu⁺ is exchanged for metal ions in the glass, such glasses may be particularly useful for anti-viral and/or anti-microbial applications.

A cross-sectional view of a portion (i.e., ends of the glass sheet are not shown) of a glass sheet strengthened by ion exchange is schematically shown in FIG. 1. In the non-limiting example shown in FIG. 1, strengthened glass sheet 100 has a thickness t, central portion 130, and a first surface 110 and second surface 112 that are substantially parallel to each other. Compressive layers 120, 122 extend from first surface 110 and second surface 112, respectively, to depths of layer d₁, d₂ below each surface. Compressive layers 120, 122 are under a compressive stress, while central portion 130 is under a tensile stress, or in tension. The tensile stress in central portion 130 balances the compressive stresses in compressive layers 120, 122, thus maintaining equilibrium within strengthened glass sheet 100. In some embodiments, the glasses and glass articles described herein may be ion exchanged to achieve a compressive stress of at least about 300 MPa and/or a depth of compressive layer of at least about 10 μm. In some embodiments, the glasses and glass articles described herein may be ion exchanged to achieve a compressive stress of at least about 500 MPa and/or a depth of compressive layer of at least about 40 μm. In some embodiments, the glass is ion exchanged to achieve a compressive stress of at least about 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, or 1000 MPa. In some embodiments, the glass is ion exchanged to achieve a depth of layer of at least about 10 μm, 20 μm, 30 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, or 110 μm or more.

In addition to high damage resistance, the glasses described herein may be ion exchanged to achieve desired levels of compressive stress and compressive depth of layer in relatively short times. Following ion exchange at 410° C. for 4 hours in molten KNO₃ salt, for example, a compressive layer having a compressive stress of greater than about 700 MPa and a depth of compressive layer of greater than about 75 μm may be achieved in these glasses. In some embodiments, the ion exchange is done at about 400° C., 410° C., 420° C., 430° C., 440° C., 450° C., 460° C., 470° C., 480° C., 490° C., 500° C., 510° C., 520° C., 530° C., 540° C., or 550° C. or greater. In some embodiments, the ion exchange is done for about 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more than 10 hours.

FIG. 2 is a plot of depth of layer as a function of compressive stress for samples a-f in Table 1. The 0.7 mm thick samples were annealed at 700° C. and ion exchanged in a molten KNO₃ salt bath at 410° C. for times ranging from 1 hour up to 8 hours (groups “b-d” in FIG. 2) or at 470° C. for six minutes (group “a” in FIG. 2). The samples that were ion exchanged at 470° C. for six minutes exhibited compressive stresses and depths of layer that are well below the frangibility limit (i.e., the point at which the glass sample should or is likely to exhibit frangible behavior, indicated by line 1 in FIG. 2). The ion exchange time required for 0.7 mm thick samples to reach the frangibility limit is slightly greater than one hour at 410° C. In samples having higher fictive temperatures with viscosities corresponding to about 10¹¹ Poise (i.e., unannealed, as down-drawn samples), the frangibility limit will also be met in a similarly short time, but the compressive stress will be lower and the depth of layer will be greater than in annealed samples. Samples that were ion exchanged for one hour (group “b”) exhibited compressive stresses and depths of layer that are just below the frangibility limit, and samples that were ion exchanged for either 4 or 8 hours (groups “c” and “d”, respectively) exhibit compressive stresses and depths of layer that exceed the frangibility limit.

The ability to ion exchange the glasses described herein may be at least partially attributable to the fact that these glasses have potassium and sodium interdiffusion coefficients that are significantly greater that those of other alkali aluminosilicate glasses that are used in applications in which damage resistance, as characterized by the Vickers crack initiation threshold of the glass, is a desirable attribute. At 410° C., the glasses described herein have a potassium/sodium interdiffusion coefficient of at least about 2.4×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, 3.0×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, 4.0×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, or 4.5×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, 6.0×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, 7.5×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, 9.0×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, 1.0×10⁻⁹ cm²/s, 1.2×10⁻⁹ cm²/s, 1.5×10⁻⁹ cm²/s and in some embodiments, in a range from about 2.4×10⁻¹⁰ cm⁻²/s, 3.0×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, 4.0×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, or 4.5×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s up to about 7.5×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, 9.0×10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s, 1.0×10⁻⁹ cm²/s, 1.2×10⁻⁹ cm²/s, or 1.5×10⁻⁹ cm²/s.
